DAYS: March 2025 Discussion Thread

I would fully be on board with a Shawn/Jada baby. Jada is actually a solid character and deserves so much better than to languish in a tepid and boring pairing with Rafe. Besides, Shawn and Belle are pretty much played out and they both need to move on from each other.

Well, hopefully Sophia miscarries and Joy isn't really pregnant. The Shawn/Jada baby is the best option.

Today was pretty solid. I agree that Gabi tearing Belle/Paulina a new one was the best part of today, and I'm happy to say that is actually saying something because I was completely invested in Ava seeing the light about Brady, Rachel turning on EJ, and the Shawn/Jada hookup aftermath. And yeah, I'm excited with all the build up for the upcoming

Nobody knows.

And don't trust anyone who says they know.  Because the people who actually know the real reason are the producer and the writer. And neither is ever going to admit that he was either too expensive or burnt out.

Thanks, Jason. 

We don't know for sure but my speculation is JSR wanted to bring in her own HWs and had to wait until Ron's contract/cycle was up.   JSR has known Jeanne since the eary 90's, and Paula for a couple of decades as well.

So, the Greenes are now using the Allie/Tripp/Wendy apartment set as their home. I guess the changes in it looked nice, except for that big ugly window in the back. Seriously, what is it with soaps and big ugly windows? GH has the same problem. 

But I liked Chad/Cat working together. They were sweet. And despite how cheap it’s probably gonna look lol I’m kinda looking forward to the hospital fundraiser. Hopefully, it ends up being a big event where several storylines reach their climax/turning point. 

Stephanie was a complete dumbass today though. Idk if they were trying to make her look stupid or tone deaf with Joy but it definitely worked and that isn’t a good thing. Having her be dumb just to make Alex look smart is not the way to go. As for Joy, idk. I think there’s potential in her storyline and having it be tied to Alex and the Kiriakis family storyline but I just don’t know. 

Speaking of Alex, he was looking like he was dressed to go disco dancing.

But I did enjoy the Kiriakis family scenes. I still think they’re missing a big opportunity by not having Alex be secretly undermining Philip and Xander and their take over attempt or not having any kind of fall out from Philip/Stephanie/Alex. It would be so nice if that ends up happening at some point. And it would be so messy in such a good way

Btw, Sonny definitely should have been a part of that meeting too. It sucks because as much as I want him and Will back in Salem and on the canvas, they’re better off gone as long as Leo is around. 

And Javi/Leo… Skip, even though Javi looked hot. What a boring, unsexy couple. And Leo moving into Rafe’s house?

Nope. Strike the word LONG from my post. Yes, once Ron is gone he's gone. No more pay.

At the same time, I don't believe that the new writers are editing Ron's stories 33 days before their material airs. 

And, Days is now recording 10 months ahead.

Paul Telfer and Eric Martsoff said (in January) that the new writers followed Ron's outlines for months and only in the fall shows were they finally getting ideas purely from the new team. So we can expect Ron's dumb stories but with better dialogue and characterizations until at least October.

Well tbf, I always thought the execution was where his biggest faults were. So, I am looking forward to the storylines being told even better. 

And hopefully, less focus around Alex and Leo

    • Its realistic for Dani and  true of how the character thinks and operates
    • Random takes: - What was even the point of that jeweler guy? Also—Dani was borderline harassing him. - I know I’m probably in the minority here, but I want Jacob and Kat to happen. I need something messy to completely dismantle the Duprees—and Katomas just isn’t cutting it.  - I officially can’t stand Jacob and his wife. Same goes for Anita and Vernon. - Hayley’s corset was just as ugly as it looked uncomfortable. - I genuinely don’t remember when or how Derek and Ashley reconciled—and I’m someone who didn’t even mind their storyline! LMAO. - Tuesday’s episode was a mess. - Dani finding out about Hayley’s pregnancy and immediately thinking, “She’s faking it”—huh?! What writer thought that was a realistic reaction? I get denial, but that leap was absurd. I agree the ‘Leslie Victorious’ moment was way OTT. But hey, at least I wasn’t yawning. The following episode, where she handed over her daughter’s last few belongings was much better. - I can’t with the constant back-and-forth between Orphey Gene’s and the Country Club. I forgot this was such a soap trope, but even back in my loyal viewer days (late ‘90s, early 2000s), it wasn’t this bad. While GH has a ton of beautiful sets, we’re stuck with the same three—and half of them are ugly. Also: it’s been way too long since we had a party, gala, or any kind of event. I know the Richardsons’ anniversary gala (back in late April) has had a big ripple effect, but I was kinda getting used to those large-scale episodes. Fingers crossed they don’t go with Guza.  
    • The horrific comments execs and writers make when they justify rape storylines or keeping rapists as love interests is just so icky. I remember Ron Carlivati's comments about the reraping of Marty storyline on OLTL. Made my skin crawl.  No matter what you think of her, Susan Lucci could have demanded front burner storylines but she never did. She was happy to be part of an ensemble. I never got that vibe from Zimmer.  For me, Reva was just not a character I cared that much about after a certain point no matter how talented Zimmer is/was. I think Zimmer had a keener eye for what made a good storyline, but she was less willing to take a backseat if it meant someone else got to shine. I'm trying to recall if she ever mentions Michelle Forbes in her book--one of the few times the viewers did not care about Reva in a storyline. My sense is if she did, it was probably some backhanded remark about how she had to show Forbes the ropes.    
    • GH was good? I havent watched since Joss went away to do her traininig and Lulu had just called Brooklyn out for having Dante's baby and not telling him
    • BTG: A-  DAYS: B+  Eastenders: C
    • There was a rumor that Jean will die and that’s probably why she’s back then
    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
    • Hahaha - I do. I've always been the type, though, that can't miss anything. I get FOMO, so I'll not skip episodes or fast forward anything. There are only a few TV shows I've dropped because they got so bad vs. sticking it out to the end.  The promise that GL 1997 is better is what keeps me going. I especially want to see the fallout of Blake's lie about her twins and then Annie's descent which I believe won Watros's Emmy.
    • Rita's rape is an episode i constantly search on YouTube hoping one day that it will show up. I always feel like I may have seen it, but I was only 6 at the time and can never figure any of the things I have vague recollection of
